2021 Map of Bullard Lake

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this high-altitude landscape in northeastern California, defined by a series of distinct valleys and troughs. The hydrology is centered on isolated water bodies like Big Jack Lake, Twin Lakes, and Bullard Lake, which occupy the low points of glaciated or tectonic depressions. Significant natural landmarks such as Lava Peak rise above the surrounding flats, while naming conventions like Black Hole and Five Troughs suggest a rugged geography known to early ranchers and foresters. The map reveals a network of primitive routes and forest service roads, including Slate Creek Rd and Lit Valley El Tie (OR 22), which navigate between Jessen Valley and Upper Gooch Valley. These corridors trace the natural drainage patterns of the region, providing access to remote springs such as Dairy Spring and the seasonally significant Mosquito Flat.
